An exciting opportunity exists to join an expanding team to deliver an electronic warfare capability for an overseas Air Force. This new role within a highly dynamic team is to help shape the development of the existing product into a highly capable, scalable mission data generation toolset. You will work closely within the team to ensure the successful delivery of the capability on time and budget using lean principles and agile methods. A key aspect of the new toolset is the development of a new Graphical User Interface (GUI) and one of the major responsibilities within this role is to help the development of this functionality such that it supports the processes and procedures that the customer utilises to generate their mission data for the fast jet Aircraft. A successful candidate should have proven ability with systems engineering principles, specifically those around system integration as well as experience working on medium to large IT projects would also be very beneficial. The role will require an individual to work as part of a very close knit team but also with a number of suppliers from both the UK and Germany, therefore there will be a requirement for a level of travel by the applicant to supplier locations such as Germany or more locally within the UK such as Lincoln or London.
